I do not know what lead up to that moment, but law officer or not, he deserves a beating just the same. I'd be glad to give it to him too. There is nothing that a female minor could have said or done short of pulling a gun or shank to warrant such action.

I would say he needs anger management classes real bad. I worked in confinement. It is a stress filled job but there is no excuse for this. If he would go off like this with the video on that tells me he is a very dangerous person and should not be working in law enforcement.

By faith Noah,being warned of God of things not seen as yet, moved with fear,prepared an ark to the saving of his house;by the which he condemned the world,and became heir of the righteousness which is by faith Heb.11:7

Right after I posted the wife said "Come see this" it was on CNN. Evidently the cop has a history of this, and has shot a few people, and killed one. So for THIS incident, he's on "paid leave." Nice. Beat up a girl and get a paid vacation.

[QUOTE=OldOwl;65693]That kind of thing happens all the time. They are pretty much organized street gangs with paychecks. I could write a book.

As a past LEO I take great offense to this comment! There are jerks in every profession and I would never paint everyone with the same brush. I have worked with some of the best people that I have ever met in law enforcement, From Fed's in the FBI to local Constable's. So I will say this

1 Was he wrong......Yes
2 Should he lose his job.....Yes
3 Does he need his a$$ whipped .....Yes
4 are all LEO in this class.........Hell no

I take the comment of LEO as being gangs with paychecks as coming from an uneducated and small minded person!

If you get to thinkin you're a person of some influence, try orderin' someone else's dog around

(Don't know how to post quites right yet, but...)

I wholeheartly agree with RDW! The comment about LEOs being paid gang members is about as bad as saying all CCW holders are a bunch of trigger happy gunslingers.

Really? I have so many certifications on my wall I can barely tell what color it is. I don't speak from the hip sir. When I say "I could write a book," I mean exactly that.

I have a few relatives who are cops, one in my town, one who is a big shot in the CT state police, and a few whom I "associate" with. Notice I didn't say "Friends." But I have documented proof, over and over, of cops taking a bad situation and making it worse for their own personal gain.

You can't deny cops stick together. They have to. Nobody else trusts them. Like the old George Carlin skit on the FBI. "Look around the room at your friends. They're not REALLY your friends... are they."

I have received testimony from two criminals who were in a B&E when the police showed up from a silent alarm, and these two hid between the basement ceiling and the upstairs floor through a small crawl space. They listened as the cops divided up the families possessions and stole everything from the TV, jewelry, all the alcohol, whatever wasn't nailed down. Every available unit in the area showed up for the party.

I have testimony from a criminal who was arrested with a large amount of cocaine. When he showed up in court, there was only enough evidence presented to prosecute him for intent to distribute, and one cop winked at him and said "That was good stuff."

Then you get situations which are in the news every day, where cops power goes to their brain, and THEY take on a mob mentality, beating down and arresting anyone and everyone indiscriminately. It's on TV every day. How about Victoria Snellgrove, shot in the eye and killed in an agonizing death by a "less than lethal" pepper gun, by an untrained and angry Boston cop.

Yes, I could write a book, and I may some day, but not now. How dare you sir show your anger and arrogance by calling me uneducated for speaking the truth.

Like the cop in the thread said, "Get over it."

There was a time when there were a few bad cops, and my father taught me to respect the police and obey the law. Well, the odds have changed since then. I do however still obey the law.

The cop could have closed the door to the holding cell, preventing further escalation. He made a choice to ATTACK (he can't use the excuse he was defending himself) rather than RETREAT. The suspect was in the process of kicking her other shoe off and her arms were crossed, he lost control, not someone who should be carrying a badge. I applaud the detective that exposed this out of control "cop".
